Does tolerance matter? : A study of same-sex unions and well-being in nine European countries  / Mirjam M. Fischer.

theme:
  1. gezondheid
  2. relaties/leefvormen
  3. homoseksualiteit
resume: This study first examines whether there is a well-being gap between same-sex and mixed-sex couples in 9 European countries using representative survey data from the first wave of the Generations and Gender Survey. Results show that a well-being gap between same-sex and mixed-sex couples in only exists when social well-being is considered in relation to countrylevel tolerance. Not only is the well-being gap smaller in tolerant countries but it is reversed suggesting that same-sex couples have higher social well-being than their peers in mixed-sex relationships when tolerance is high. This is found using both a normative and a legal measure of social tolerance. Trends in the sample that suggest a similar association when looking at depression but the estimates are not statistically significant.

resume: This is the technical report accompanying the dataset of the Unions in Context (UNICON) study. The UNICON study is a web-based probability survey among same-sex and mixed-sex couples conducted in 20 Dutch municipalities in 2016. The main objective driving this project was the need for data on same-sex couples and their children which are not biased by convenience recruitment strategies. The probability sample was drawn by means of a sampling frame based on population registers including also those couples who are cohabiting without being in an officially registered union (marriage or civil partnership). The sampling design also specifically aimed at capturing the complex realities regarding parenthood in same-sex couples by selecting same-sex headed families not on the basis of officially registered parental status but based on the presence of children in the household. The final dataset includes responses from 600 same-sex couple households (of which 140 with children) and about 320 mixed-sex couple households (of which 230 with children). Core challenges in the field: The UNICON data address five core challenges faced when studying same-sex couples and families quantitatively. The study: (1) purposefully includes same-sex couples and families in the sampling frame (2) uses a random sample that allows for generalization (3) oversamples same-sex couples to achieve a large number of observations (4) includes a suitable comparison group of mixed-sex couples (5) covers a wide range of substantive topics both specific to same-sex couples and general topics

Free to Live their Lives as they Wish? : The Social Well-Being Gap between Persons in Same-Sex and Mixed-Sex Relationships in Europe  / Mirjam Maria Fischer.

resume: In this dissertation, I argue that the way well-being of sexual minorities is thought of in society and science is quite narrow. This has in part to do with the kind of research that is conducted among this population. It is not a coincidence that the first thing that enters people's mind regarding sexual minorities are topics like HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases or mental health problems since these are the dominant topics in research about them. Social scientific knowledge and a social group's standing in society inform each other. It is therefore crucial to broaden the definition of well-being in research of sexual minorities to include positive aspects that make for people?s quality of life. This is one main motivation behind the studies into the social lives of persons in same-sex and mixed-sex relationships I present in this dissertation. In my opinion, it is more fruitful to turn our attention toward the deeply rooted norms and values in our societies that place heterosexual monogamy at its apex. Sometimes, the exclusion of non-heterosexuality is quite literal, for example when people state that they do not want to see public displays of affection between persons of the same sex. Often, it happens indirectly via traditional ideas regarding family life, for example. People may perhaps think of single mothers when they state that every child needs a father and a mother to grow up happily. Yet, such ideas exclude two-mother, two-father and multi-parent families by default. Such collective beliefs in society are bigger than any single person. The reason why I emphasize the structural argument is because it is the default in our individualized society to blame individual people. And in doing so, we fail to examine our institutions, laws, collective beliefs and cultural traditions for their in-built homophobic, sexist, racist and classist+ qualities.

Identifying same-sex couples in cross-national survey data : A comparison of same-sex couples' demographic and socio-economic traits in six European countries  / Mirjam M. Fischer.

theme:
  1. gender/seksualiteit studies lhbti
resume: There are many challenges associated with studying same-sex couples in survey data, which were not explicitly designed for this purpose. In this chapter, I systematically review demographic and socio-economic characteristics of same-sex couples in two data sources: the European Social Survey (2002-2012) and the Generations and Gender Programme (2002-2010). This comparison is aimed at providing a first check on the quality of these data. While there is much encouraging evidence, a number of country-specific inconsistencies emerge. The chapter concludes by giving relevant recommendations to survey providers.
